Abstract
This document specifies a new Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY)
General Extension payload to transport the short-term key message
(STKM) and long-term key message (LTKM) payloads as well as the
management data LTKM reporting message and parental control message
payloads defined in the Open Mobile Alliance's (OMA) Broadcast
(BCAST) group's Service and Content protection specification.

1. Introduction
The Multimedia Internet KEYing (MIKEY) protocol specification (RFC
3830 [RFC3830]) defines a General Extension payload to allow possible
extensions to MIKEY without having to allocate a new payload type.
The General Extension payload can be used in any MIKEY message and is
part of the authenticated/signed data part. There is an 8-bit type
field in that payload. The type code assignment is IANA-managed, and
RFC 3830 requires IETF consensus for assignments from the public
range of 0-240.
The Open Mobile Alliance's (OMA) Broadcast (BCAST) group's Service
and Content Protection specification [SPCP] specifies the use of a
short-term key message (STKM), a long-term key message (LTKM), an
LTKM reporting message, and a parental control message that carry
attributes related to Service and Content protection. Note that any
keys associated with the attributes, such as the Parental Control
Pincode if present, are part of the MIKEY KEMAC payload.
This document specifies the use of the General Extension payload of
MIKEY to carry the messages mentioned above, as well as protection of
the credentials using mechanisms supported by MIKEY with
modifications in [RFC3830].
RFC 3830 [RFC3830], the MIKEY General Extension payload defined in
RFC 4563 [RFC4563], and the 3rd Generation Partnership Project
(3GPP)'s Multimedia Broadcast/ Multicast Service (MBMS) document
[3GPP.33.246] specify the transport of MIKEY messages via unicast or
broadcast; the OMA BCAST specifications use either for transport of
MIKEY messages.
